Another trip to one of my favorite destinations in west-central Arizona. Saddle Mountain is still pristine, despite the constant human presence below, with spectacular plants and equally spectacular views. I did notice that someone or some group has been busy here. Trails below are well-marked as never before, with small basalt boulders lining trails in some spots. Also, an increasingly visible trail is now forming on top beyond the intermediate saddle. This seems a result of large numbers of cairns, directing hikers toward the summit. With most hikers now following cairns, visible trails are forming. Whether a good thing or a bad thing is entirely subjective, I suppose, but I'll give it two thumbs up. Down below, I came upon a couple of petroglyph sites I had been previously unaware of, so a good day all around.
